…so here are some books that feature (reproduction postcards of) vintage advertisements. My favourite is hands down (no pun intended) the gloves that come with a cigarette pocket. One of my biggest bugbears is that women’s clothing rarely comes with useful pockets. Usually the pockets on our clothes are too small to be of use or, worse, they’re FAKE pockets just added as a design feature. Seriously, WTF? We need pockets. We need FUNCTIONAL pockets. I have a whole rant on this subject but I’ll just leave you for now with what would probably be my slogan if I went campaigning: Pockets Against the Patriarchy!
